Jardine made two changes in the English side which lost by 111 runs at Melbourne, Verity and Paynter coming in for Bowes and the Nawab of Pataudi, whilej Woodfull omitted O'Brien from) the victorious Australian team in favour of Ponsford, his former opening partner,

COTTON YARN
EXPORTS RISE
Effect Of China's Boycott Against Japan.
DUMPING AFFECTS MARKETS IN NEAR EAST.
London, To-day. The exports of cotton yarn for 1932 have exceeded the volume of either of 'the previous two years, states the annual report of the yarn section of the Man- chester Chamber of Com- merce.
India, Rumania and China ac-- counted for the most important increases..
The boycott of Japanese goods by China has doubtless resulted in an improved demand for Lan- cashire yarns. Increased Ger man duties on cotton yarns has. seriously set back the Lanca- shire spinning interests, and the Board of Trade have been ap proached regarding the matter.
The report of the Near Eastern section of the Cham- ber refers to the increasing- ly keen competition from Japan and elsewhere, and says that the totally imeco- Domic selling prices of Jap anese goods is one of the greatest obstacles to Lanca shire prosperity in Egypt and other important markets such as Turkey and Iraq.
